If we can expose the "shared" flag though, i think the API gets more
natural. We can then only show the shared disks in the root context.
Itamar, can we expose this flag, or do you consider this flag is
internal to the BE?
we have to expose this flag for shared disk functionality. this is the
only way via ui/api to flag the disk as shared (which only then allows
attaching it to more than a single vm - this is explicit to avoid disk
corruptions)
